Pedego Stretch VS Tern GSD

[charlesbrenthirak]

In my quest to get the perfect bike to: remain car-less; deliver food for Cavair; look good at age 52; store bike on side of house; ride through most of Portland, OR's 4 seasons; have fun on roads; put bike in friends car, bus, train or other and be mobile in remote locations; navigate dirt (not mud) on occasion; try and be not in death debt; and have something that i can love like a fetish for at least 5 years, i have arrived at these two offerings. i haven't ridden either of them but plan to do so in the next few weeks. Wondering if any of you'all have any input.

Thanks

While I have not seen either in-person, unless your friend has a minivan or SUV, I do not see a Pedego Stretch going into any car. Even the GSD would be tough, but at least it folds down making it more compact.

Portability aside, I suppose you do not care for the battery placement on the Yuba Spicy Curry Bosch?

That Yuba looks so good. perhaps i need to get over the battery thing. They do flatten the down tube a bit i think

You really need to test-ride both bikes. And maybe take a tape measure with you when you check them out. That will tell you a lot more than anyone else's opinion about the two bikes.

And I thought that tern was advertising that the GSD will fit in the back of many smaller vehicles.
